Which Method to Use for Surgical Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation Performed Concomitantly with Mitral Valve Surgery: Radiofrequency Ablation versus Cryoablation
Abstract Objective: The effects of energy source on the maintenance of sinus rhythm and the contribution of demographic characteristics to the case selection in patients submitted to ablation performed concurrently with mitral valve surgery were analyzed. Methods: Cryothermal (n=42; 43.8%) and rad...
